There is No Bad Weather, Only Bad Gear
Dressing for Alaska
Trip Planning
The Alaska Layering System
It can be 40°F and raining at 6 AM, and 75°F and sunny by noon. If you dress incorrectly, you will be miserable. The secret to Alaska is layering with synthetic materials. Leave the cotton hoodies and jeans at home.
✓
Base Layer
Merino wool or synthetic thermal tops and bottoms. This wicks moisture away from your skin.
✓
Mid Layer
Fleece pullovers, wool sweaters, or lightweight puffy jackets for insulation.
✓
Outer Shell
High-quality, truly waterproof (Gore-Tex) rain jacket and rain pants. Windproof is critical.
✓
Extremities
Wool socks, a warm beanie, and fingerless wool gloves for handling wet gear.
